George Sakata was an American soldier and photographer who had his camera handy during his deployment to Europe during World War II. After he and his family were sent to the Manzanar internment camp in 1942, George joined the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, a segregated unit that consisted entirely of second-generation Japanese Americans, or Nisei. The 442nd fought throughout Italy and France. Staying true to their motto of "Go for Broke," the 442nd took on highly risky assignments and sustained heavy casualties. To this day, the 442nd RCT remains the most decorated unit for its size and length of service in all of U.S. military history. In this rare self-portrait, George poses for the camera.
